The Bloomsbury Hotel

The Coral Room has to be the perfect antidote to the first wet, grey day of autumn 2024. Everyone from doorman to wait staff conspires to make you feel like a welcome friend, the luscious coral decor lifts the heart, the food is both delicious and generous. And then there’s Emma. Emma looked after us from 10.30 till 3 with good advice, 100% attentive service and unique good humour. Return inevitable:)

We stayed for six nights at The Bloomsbury Hotel at the end of August. The new Elizabeth Line made it easy to travel from Heathrow Airport. The hotel is a two-minutes walk from the Tottenham Court Road station. While the initial impression of The Bloomsbury might seem quirky, as their main entrance backs up to the brick wall of a playhouse, the experience quickly becomes personal and friendly. The doormen are attentive and ready to help with your luggage up the steps to the reception area. We were checked in by Eva, who brought a cheerful and eager-to-please approach to her work. She took her time explaining the available amenities nearby and the ins and outs of the hotel. We stayed in two rooms since we had made separate bookings. Both were very comfortable and quiet. The proportions of the rooms are more in line with European hotels, but had a luxurious feel and there was ample space in both to move around and unpack. My wife particularly appreciated the evening turn-down service. The doormen are not just there to carry your luggage. Ivan and Antonio frequently checked in with us as we came and went, offering helpful advice on where to eat and what to do. The Bloomsbury is ideally located for visiting the British Museum, which is about a five-minute walk away. The area is filled with charming shops and cafes. Covent Garden is nearby. For shopping enthusiasts, Oxford Street is easily accessible from the main tube intersection. Breakfast was a highlight. The wait staff engage with you, inquire about your stay, and discuss your plans for the day. We enjoyed talking with Tanya, who shared her stories of leaving Ukraine and her journey to joining The Bloomsbury. We also received exceptional service from Tara and Mohamed. The hotel's bar, the Coral Room, and Dalloway Terrace restaurant are elegant and have great food and drinks. Having stayed in many hotels around the world, we would rank The Bloomsbury at the top of our list. It offers great value and a genuine sense of being part of the local hotel community, making it feel like home while exploring London.

My friend and I recently visited London from the US, and we were blown away by The Bloomsbury Hotel. When choosing a hotel, I very strategically looked for a hotel that was central to all that we wanted to see and had easy access to the tube or within walking distance. This hotel is that gem, close to everything! From check-in to check-out, the service from all of the staff was wonderful and accommodating. We enjoyed drinks in the Coral Room (you have to get the truffle fries) and breakfast as well (really everything you need to get your London day going). The beds are very comfortable and the decor is a vibe. I will be back in the future!
